The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! - Chapter 53

53 No More Fishing

“Little Li?”

Hearing Liu Liangcai’s shout, Zhou Xiaoli came back to her senses.

At this moment, her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?”

!!
Liu Liangcai’s concerned voice rang out again.

“Zhou Yu, come and take a look. Little Li seems to be feeling unwell.”

“Ah, what’s wrong?” Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan hurriedly put down whatever they were working on and walked over quickly after hearing him.

Sure enough, Zhou Xiaoli’s face was pale.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoli, Zhang Lan hurriedly supported her as she looked like she was able to collapse. Her eyes were filled with worry. “Li’er, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Mother. Weren’t you fine when you just came back?”

“Hubby, hurry. Take the donkey cart out and send Li’er to see the doctor.”

Zhou Yu did not pause at all and was about to go home to get the donkey cart.

Zhou Xiaoli shook her head weakly. “Father, Mother, there’s no need to go. I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

The appearance of the illusion almost exhausted all the strength in her body.

As she spoke, she smiled weakly to reassure them. “I’m fine.”

Zhang Lan was worried. “Really? No, You should see the doctor.”

Zhou Xiaoli said, “Mother, I’m really fine. I’m just hungry. I’ll be fine after eating something.”

Liu Liangcai said, “Then hurry up and eat the eggs your aunt cooked. I think her face is pale. Perhaps she got a heat stroke from being on the ship.”

Zhang Lan’s heart ached. “You should not follow them out to sea tomorrow. Your father and your uncle can do it alone. You can’t help either. Why are you exposing yourself to the sun?”

Upon hearing that Zhou Xiaoli was not allowed to go fishing, Lin Xiujuan slapped her forehead and hurriedly said, “Oh, right, I remember that I still have some centella asiatica herb at home. I’ll cook it now to help Little Li cool down.”

With that, she hurried home.

Since Zhou Xiaoli insisted that she did not need to see a doctor, Zhang Lan helped Zhou Xiaoli home to rest.

After a while, Lin Xiujuan cooked the centella asiatica herb into a herbal drink.

After drinking the herbal drink and eating some food, Zhou Xiaoli slowly recovered, and her face looked better.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

After Lin Xiujuan returned home, Zhang Lan was still worried. “I still think you shouldn’t follow them out to sea tomorrow.”

Zhou Yu agreed. “That’s right. Your Uncle Liu and I can do it alone. Don’t follow us.”

Zhou Xiaoli took a sip of water and nodded. “Yes, I can’t go tomorrow…”

It was not just her who cannot go out to sea. No one else should go too.

In the illusion just now, it was the scene of them going out to sea.

They encountered a storm at sea and were attacked by sharks. The damage to the boat was serious, and Liu Liangcai was swept into the sea.

In order to save Liu Liangcai, Zhou Yu jumped into the sea.

At this moment, a shark appeared in the sea. While fending off the shark, Liu Liangcai helped Zhou Yu to escape and was eaten by the shark himself.

Zhou Yu’s leg had also been bitten by a shark while the boat had capsized. Neither of them returned home.

The scene was too bloody. Zhou Xiaoli was still terrified when she thought about it.

Zhang Lan was relieved when Zhou Xiaoli said that she was not going, and brought the two little fellows to the kitchen to cook.

After the meal, Zhou Xiaoli called Zhou Yu to the courtyard.

“Father, you and Uncle Liu shouldn’t go fishing tomorrow.”

Zhou Yu thought that Zhou Xiaoli was worried that they would get heatstroke as well. So he said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Your Uncle Liu and I have thick skin and thick flesh. We’re already used to the sun, so it’s fine.”

“I have to make more money during this period. Let’s have a good winter.”

Zhou Xiaoli shook her head. “It’s not that, Father. Look at the night sky tonight. I think there will be a storm tomorrow. It’s not suitable to go out to sea.”

This was the most reasonable reason she could find.

Although Zhou Yu knew that she was not the original Zhou Xiaoli, it was better not to let outsiders know that she had the Heavenly Eye.

Hearing that there was a storm, Zhou Yu hesitated.

He could not help but look up at the starry sky and ask suspiciously, “Is that so?”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded solemnly. “Father, trust me.”

Seeing the seriousness in Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes, Zhou Yu finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll tell Uncle Liu tomorrow that I’m not going.”

His daughter seemed to have many secrets now. Perhaps she also had some extraordinary abilities.

However, he did not ask further. Since she had come to their house, God must have taken pity on him and had given another daughter. He would protect this daughter well.

Zhou Yu patted Zhou Xiaoli’s shoulder. “Alright, you’re tired today. Go back to your room and sleep. I’ll talk to Uncle Liu tomorrow.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Although she had convinced Zhou Yu, Zhou Xiaoli was still a little worried.

She was not worried that Zhou Yu would not be able to convince Liu Liangcai.

It was mainly because Lin Xiujuan was not easy to convince.

—

The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiaoli went to the Liu family and told them the excuse Zhou Xiaoli came up with last night.

“What, a storm?”

Liu Liangcai widened his eyes and looked at the sun that had just risen. He said with uncertainty, “Really?”

Zhou Yu nodded with uncertainty himself. “Yes.”

Liu Liangcai laughed. “Brother Zhou, are you joking? Look at the sun. It doesn’t look like it will be a stormy day.”

Lin Xiujuan also said, “That’s right. The sky is so clear. Where would the storm come from?”

“Oh, I know. Is it because Little Li hasn’t recovered yet? If you’re not feeling well, you can rest for the day. Hubby, you can go alone.”

This was what Zhou Xiaoli was worried about.

Even if she managed to convince them now, she was afraid that Lin Xiujuan would regret it a while later and urge Liu Liangcai to go out to sea alone.

She rolled her eyes and thought of a solution. “Uncle Liu, actually, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that something happened to us at sea. After I woke up, my right eyelid twitches constantly.”

“Isn’t it said that the left eye twitching means good fortune would happen while the right eye twitching means disasters? I’m a little worried. Let’s just rest for a day. We won’t lose much in a day.”

If Lin Xiujuan believed that Zhou Xiaoli was protected by immortals, it meant that she believed in these things.

She immediately took it to heart. “Aiya, if that’s the case, hubby, don’t go today. Let’s rest for a day. Coincidentally, there’s a lot of grass growing in the field. I can’t handle it alone.”

“Pfft!”

At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan burst out laughing. “Mother, you believed her for real? Even a quack wouldn’t dare to make up such a story…”

She was about to say something when Lin Xiujuan glared at her. “What are you talking about? Hurry up and eat.”

“Tsk!”

Liu Yuanyuan snorted in dissatisfaction and disliked Zhou Xiaoli even more.

Not only had she snatched her father away, but even her mother was treating her with kindness now.

“Hmph! I’m going to find Zhou Guihua to do embroidery.”

Out of sight, out of mind. Liu Yuanyuan put the bowl on the table heavily and ran out.

“Look at this child. She’s getting more and more rude!”

After Liu Liangcai reprimanded her, he turned to Zhou Xiaoli and said, “Fine. Regardless of whether it rains or not, for peace of mind, let’s rest today.”

Seeing that Liu Liangcai was unlikely to go out to sea, Zhou Xiaoli was relieved and returned home with Zhou Yu.

Today was a rare break. Fortunately, they had nothing to do, so they entered the alternate space and cultivated the two acres of land within in preparations to plant wheat.

The alternate space did not seem to have seasons so crops could be planted at any time.
